PRETORIA - One person has been arrested in connection with the Zanzou nightclub torture.
Police say a joint operation of law enforcement agencies has led to the arrest of 41-year-old Congolese national fingered in the incident at the poplar nightclub in Pretoria.
A video emerged online showing people being assaulted and stripped naked at the club.
In a statement released by SAPS, it is said that "the JMPD officials were conducting patrols in the area when they noticed the man resembling one of the Hatfield Club bouncers they have seen on videos circulating on social media.
"They stopped the man and upon satisfying themselves that indeed he was the one they have seen on the videos, they placed him under arrest and detained him at a police station".
